California State University (CSU) policy limits the length of time for receipt of
the SUG. All students must meet the following guidelines to be eligible for a SUG
award:

Students must be enrolled at least half time (6 units undergraduate/credential and
4 units graduate level);

Students cannot have accumulated more than 150 semester or 225 quarter units earned
in their CSU undergraduate careers;

Undergraduate transfer students cannot accumulate more than 75 semester or 113 quarter
earned units while enrolled at a CSU campus;

Teacher and credential students cannot accumulate more than 30 earned units.

Graduate students cannot exceed more than 125% earned units of the required program
length. For example: If a MS program is 60 units, a student may receive SUG funding
for up to 75 units.

Students pursuing a second bachelor's, second credential, or second master's degree
are not eligible for the SUG. The CSU will only fund the first degree.
